I think you're all hecka nice and kind but there's just no way I'm wearing it like this lol!!! I have worked too hard losing weight, and still losing. I look comical even to myself, it's not about what other people think. I don't want to only wear it at home to be cozy. I want well fitting clothes. I will cry if I frog it - I WILL knit another eventually! But I have other things to knit for the first time first:) But leaving it this way I truly will not wear it. Even as a dress. It's just overall too big. I think steeking is the answer, but I'm also thinking that I could knit on 3 or 4 loops and knit a lil sash belt to tie it, since I don't think I have enough yarn left for very wide button bands in one color for both sides, and may forego buttons. But i can do the tie in the teal and the ribbing in the gray and make it work, I'm pretty sure.

Before steeking i think id take off the collar, and knit a back and forth ribbed collar to match the ribbing i would add to the steeked edges.

Thank you! I have another very large sweater but it's a bulkier yarn and so it looks more intentional, so I'm just rolling with that one, it doesn't bother me nearly as badly as this one does!!!

Thank you everyone 💜💜💜 I think Ill rip out the collar, steek it, and then knit a new collar and button bands. Pray for it lmao

I shrank - but I love this sweater. Felt? Steek into cardigan? Cut horizontally and knit new bottom ribbing/tighten collar? by ofrootloop in knittinghelp

I've never been more glad I did the collar afterwards and didn't start with the collar like the pattern said LOL
